One of the downsides of fragmented software.

Speed that is not quite correct about being fragmented..

It's more akin to updated version over the legacy OS..both still use the same APK package file system for all applications and Games..same as Amazon fire devices , many APK's will work across the same version of Android OS...

Example not all iOS devices can be updated to the new iOS version..like a iPhone 3Gs cannot go up past IOS ver 4...
Fragmented OS versions happen all the time..its not Quite the same thing as a fragmented Eco system.

Agreed. I could have been a bit clearer about that.

This is nothing to do with a outdated OS, as they can be patched, this is to do with apps that are not vetted on the app store. I feel the door has been left open on purpose, so they can say "Yeah its the old OS, you need the new OS , yeah sorry you need to buy a new phone/tablet so you can use the new OS". This is not exclusive to just one company, it's all of them.

"Gooligan is actually quite a complex piece of software. First, the hackers hide the infected code in bogus, free lookalike apps hosted on third-party Android app stores (anything outside of Google Play)"

Enough said.
